If nothing else, Linda Harvey can be novel

Linda Harvey - Does anyone still listen to this witch?

A Nigerian outlet (of all things) is reporting that anti-LGBT loon, Linda Harvey, claims that homosexuality is God's punishment for abortions. Silly me. I would think that there were gay people long before people aborted fetuses. Or does abortion go that far back in time?

The more salient point is that most people do not regard sexual orientation as some kind of punishment (unless of course you happen to be Richard Simmons).

Harvey does believe that sexual orientation is assigned at birth it seems. Or does God select six-year-olds? Seven? Give us a goddamned number Linda.

During a speech, Harvey said:

You may have thought these were separate issues, but they are foundationally connected.

One has to consider, first of all, the horrifying possibility that this complete sexual and human identity meltdown could be an aspect of God’s judgment on us for aborting millions of our children.

We won’t know until we see him, but it is very possible that as an instrument of God’s judgment, he is using the punishment to come on us through our children, the corruption of our children. Even more horrifying, we are letting it happen.

Get that? Stop abortion and there will be no more gay people. Simple, right? Not that many moving parts either. It starts with a deity who is obsessed with abortion. Then s/he decides to punish society. Wouldn't the point be to get them to stop abortion? In which case this would not rest on the shoulders of one anti-gay crackpot. Right?

And what would be a suitable punishment? Oh, to make people gay so that they could be marginalized by other religious right lunatics and fools. I guess that s/he has sworn off floods, locusts, boils and hail. Why is that I wonder? I would think that frog rain would have a much bigger impact but that's just me.
